Edited 16/07/2018: After several years without doing needlepainting i was too daring to join this Trish Burr drawing (I’m in need some jerks/challanges)
Some of my dificulties
1 transfering the drawing
2 variety of colours and tons – not being color blind I confuse a lot of tons
3 my left hand not colaborate at first but gave it no choice
4 starting the stems they look bad – decided not to undo and see the evolution
5 the smallest green leaves are very ugly ( decided to undo and redo the uglest one)
6 – the upside-down part of third rust-colored leaf is ugly as well
I’ve used the seat frame from Crewel Work Company – very good indeed
Training training and training is needed!

naquela altura este kit vinha a Jacobean Sampler.
encomendei e houve uma confusão com o endereço e todo o serviço e contacto com a empresa foi impecável e fiquei muito grata e agradada com toda a preocupação com a chegada da encomenda,
verifico que o crewel stem não é o mesmo que o stem stitch é o que a Mary Corbet chama outline stitch, comecei pela Jacobean Sampler e estou mesmo a gostarat that time the kit came with Jacobean Sampler.
I ordered and there was a confusion with my address and all the service and contact with the company was flawless and I was very grateful and pleased with all the concern with the arrival of the order,
I notice that the crewel stem is not the same as the stem stitch – is what Mary Corbet calls outline stitch, I started with the Jacobean Sampler and I’m really loving it

Ando muito trapalhona a escrever quer no blogue quer no grupo do Facebook do Air Embroidery Club. Desaparecem-me fotos e texto, ou parte deles, como hoje verifiquei. Quando vim para fazer um novo post vi que uma parte do texto da primeira foto tinha desaparecido. Aqui vai.I’m a bit of clumsy writing on both the blog and the Air Embroidery Club Facebook group. Photos and text or part of them disappear as I checked today. When I came for a new post I saw that part of the text of the first photo had disappeared. Here goes.

Como prometi aqui está o projeto de Junho – tema o jacarandá.As promised here is in the June project – jacaranda tree theme.o esqueleto da árvore fiz bastante cedo, mas só mesmo no final de Junho acabei todo o projeto.The skeleton of the tree was done quite early, but only at the end of June the whole project was finished.

o ponto espinha tem vários nomes, em Portugal conforme as regiões, como acontece com outros pontos como o ponto pé de galo, p.ex.feather stitch has several names, in Portugal according to the regions, the same happens to several other stitches such as herringbone stitch

Ontem tive um dia como há muito, muito tempo não tinha. Muito produtivo.Atrevi-me com a máquina de costura, finalmente, e correu bem.
Venham mais dias como o de ontem.Yesterday I had a day as didn’t have for long, long time. Very productive. Finally I dared at the sewing machine, and it went well. Come more days like yesterday

The crochet bag is finished, but I was wrong on a fundamental detail. I’ll undo most of it.The application of crochet leaves on burlap has suffered changes and is almost completed.
However I have to renew two cushions, with some urgency, so one is already finished with the embroidery. I already started the second one. I did not use wool, because the pillows are going to be used a lot, with many children, but they would be pretty embroidered with wool.mesmo nos meus desenhos, ao bordar, vou saindo do risco, acertando aqui e ali.when embroidering, even my own drawings I’m going out of my way, hitting here and there.devido ao uso que as almofadas vão ter o linho tem mistura sintética. Quando estiverem prontas mostrarei, é claro.Due to the use the cushions will have the linen has synthetic blend (50% each). When the work is ready, I’ll show you, of course.
